Couldn’t Hide the Feelings - Chapter 67

Ashley did not know what had happened to them, nor did she know where Mike had so much grievance, so she had no choice but to change the topic, “Brother Mike, why are you coming? Where is my brother?”

To Ashley, Mike’s anger dissipated more than half of his anger. “Your brother said that he has something to deal with.”

Ashley nodded and asked no more questions.

The three left the airport and got into Mike’s car parked outside.

Ashley consciously sat in the back seat and Jacob got into the passenger seat.

She pulled out her phone, continued to find the hotel for Jacob, and sent it to him when she saw the right one.

It was close to one o’clock in the morning, but Ashley had just slept on the plane and was not too sleepy.

There was light music in the car, and Jacob and Mike talked.

Maybe he was afraid that Ashley would feel embarrassed, so Mike didn’t make fun of their relationship.

Forty minutes later, the car drove to Ashley’s home downstairs.

Jacob followed her out of the car and watched her enter the building before getting back to the car.

He fastened his seat belt again and heard Mike ask, “Hey, where do you live?”

Jacob looked at the mobile phone and reported the name of a hotel.

Mike, “You can just stay at my place.”

“Come on.”

Jacob smiled, “It’s inappropriate.”

Mike laughed. “Well, you are right. It’s not good for you to hear anything. By the way, I heard from Liam that you moved again. ”

“Mm-hmm.”

Mike frowned and said a few more words like a mother, “How many times have you moved in the past few years? You’d better buy a house and settle down, otherwise, the money you earn will be brought into the coffin with you.”

“I don’t want to live in the same place for a long time, and I don’t intend to stay in SL all the time.”

Speaking of this, Jacob meditated for a moment and then said, “Right, can you take a notice that if there are any new houses in here, just in this area?”

Mike was stunned, “In South Star?”

“Yes.”

“You’re going to come back here?” Mike understood, “Because of Ashley?”

Jacob smiled and said, “The little girl is very homesick.”

“I’ll ask for you later,” Mike said. “But are you sure? What about your work? Haven’t you bought a stake in this company? and it’s developing quite well. What was the agreement at that time?”

Jacob did not answer his questions, and suddenly came up with the sentence, “I am thinking about something recently.”

Mike, “What”

Happened to be downstairs to the hotel, Jacob said no more.

He unfastened his seat belt, opened the door, and said carelessly, “It’s nothing, I’ll think about it.”

For fear of disturbing Tim and Grace, Ashley did all her actions carefully.

After taking off her shoes, she didn’t even dare to put on her slippers and didn’t turn on the light, so she went back to her room in the light of her cell phone.

Ashley felt that she didn’t make any noise at all, but she still woke up her mother.

She had just closed the door, and before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the door was pushed open again.

Grace’s face still has a feeling of tiredness that has just woken up.

At the sight of Ashley, most of her drowsiness dissipated in an instant. “You scared me. Didn’t you say that you will come back tomorrow?”

Ashley scratched her head.” The flight is too late. I’m afraid you’ll wait for me. ”

“Did your brother send you back?”

Ashley did not lie, “He seems to have something urgent. He asked Brother Mike to send me back. I’ll take a shower and go to bed. Good night, mom. ”

Grace stared at her, reached out and touched her face, and sighed, “Why do I feel like you’ve lost weight again? You haven’t been home for more than half a year.”

Ashley shook her head. “I’ve gained two pounds.”

“I’m afraid you won’t have a good time there all day, and won’t tell me,” Grace couldn’t help saying a few more words. “If you want to find an internship in the future, you’d better look for it in South Star, okay? ”

Afraid of waking Tim, Ashley nodded. Ashley took a quick bath and went back to her room.

After talking to Jacob for a while, she threw her phone aside.

Closing eyes, Ashley wanted to sleep. And before long, Ashley opened her eyes again.

Ashley inexplicably remembered something. And she suddenly climbed out of bed and pulled out the previous cardboard box again from under the bed.

In the dim light, Ashley slowly took out everything inside.

The ones that took up the most space were the dolls. She put them on the desk and planned to throw them into the washing machine tomorrow.

Ashley took out the milk bottle with the stars and put it back on the windowsill.

Further down.

Ashley saw the picture of Jacob she secretly took with her mobile phone.

The edge of the photo has been yellowed, the pixel was not high, but she could still see what the man looked like.

At that time, Jacob felt like a teenager, wearing a white sweater.

He kept his eyes down and held a black game controller in his hand and the smile on his face was not much different from what it was now.

In fact, Ashley didn’t remember how she felt when she took this picture.

But there was still a very magical feeling.

A man who fell in love at first sight.

Someone she has been in love with since she was young.

From looking for reasons to approach, secretly hiding her mind, wanting to leave traces in his life, and then to alienate and break, try her best to forget.

And then, because they met again, everything was lit up again.

Speaking of which, it seemed to be quite beautiful.

She was with her first love now.

But Ashley felt that she would probably not tell Jacob about this for the rest of her life.

She won’t let him know.

She also tried hard to show him her love without fear, but because of cowardice and powerlessness, she finally hid it in the deepest place.

And she won’t let him know.

As long as he clicked his finger, her whole heart bumped.

The so-called hidden love.

In front of him, it became something she couldn’t hide.

The next day, Ashley returned to her room after breakfast.

When she noticed the dolls on the desk, she suddenly remembered.

She picked them all up, walked out of the room again, and shouted, “Mom, I want to wash these.”

Her parents sitting in front of the sofa watching TV.

Hearing Ashley’s voice, Grace raised her head and glanced at her. “Oh, didn’t you put them away? Why did you suddenly take them out?”

Ashley did not know how to explain, saying vaguely, “I suddenly remembered them.”

“Put them in the bucket.”

Grace didn’t ask any more questions, “Come here, watch TV with Mom and Dad for a while.”

Ashley nodded and went over to sit down.

They said they were watching TV, but they were more likely to ask her about her holiday and what had happened to her recently.

Ashley basically said frankly, except for some who felt unable to answer.

Taking advantage of the gap between Tim and Grace chatting, Ashley pulled out her cell phone from her pocket.

She happened to see the message from Jacob.

Ashley:[Awake?]

Jacob:[1532.]

[Room number.]

[If you are available, please come to spoil me.]

Feeling a little speechless, Ashley couldn’t help laughing and replied:[Later.]

She wanted to reply to something more when she heard Grace call her.

Ashley subconsciously locked her phone, raised her head, and blankly said, “What’s wrong?”

Grace smiled and asked, “Who are you talking to?”

Ashley casually answered, “Classmate.”

“Do you have a boyfriend?”

After hearing the words, Tim also looked at her.

Ashley licked the corners of her lips with an uncomfortable expression,” Yes. ”

Feeling that she was not that young, Grace was not too surprised, but said, “Why didn’t I hear you mention him?”

Tim frowned, “You really have a boyfriend?”

Seeing that she was too embarrassed, Grace stroked, “It’s okay, but you should pay attention to yourself and protect yourself.”

Ashley nodded.

Grace asked again, “What’s his name? Where is he from? Is he a student in your school? What is his major?”

Tim waved to Ashley with a disapproving expression. “Just wait until you graduate. Is your partner willing to go back here with you? ”

Ashley was a little overwhelmed and suddenly stood up and ran to the room. “Forget it, I’ll go and get some sleep.”

She could still hear Tim saying, “Who do you think he is?”

“I don’t know.”

Grace said amusingly, “It must be someone she knows in school.”

Ashley actually wanted to mention this matter to them slowly and step by step.

Liam’s reaction still left her with a lingering fear.

But when Ashley thought about it, she still thought that her parents would not be like him, and would certainly be easier to talk to than him.

And in her opinion, Jacob really had nothing to be picky about.

Ashley stayed at home with her parents for a few days.

And she didn’t have any time to find Jacob.

But he seemed to have been asked out by his former college classmates these days.

Ashley has never seen Liam go home during this long holiday.

From time to time, she heard Grace talking about him, saying that he was a real ingrate.

When she met her friends, people thought she had only given birth to a daughter. Her friends were shocked to hear that she had a son and asked if her son had recently been adopted.

When Ashley listened to this, she sent a message to Liam very kindly.

Forced him to come back one night.

As a result, Ashley was no longer the target at the dinner table this evening, and she didn’t have to rack her brains to deal with the problems thrown by her parents.

Ashley bit the rice silently, listening with interest to Liam being taught by her parents in turn.

After going on like this for more than ten minutes, Liam finally couldn’t help saying, “Can we just have a quiet meal?”

Grace followed his words and began to scold again, “Now I can’t even talk to you, can I?”

Liam took a deep breath, hit Ashley next to him with his elbow, and motioned to her to help say a few words.

Ashley looked at him sideways and sighed, “Brother, you can’t do this, it hurts mother’s heart.”

Tim, “You are not as sensible as your sister.”

Liam raised his eyelids and said coolly, “She is sensible? So it is estimated that she will come back to accompany you during the long and short holidays.”

Speaking of which, he paused and looked at Ashley. “Right?”

Ashley choked.

Speaking of this, Tim and Grace looked at Ashley at the same time.

The attention of them converged on her again.

Ashley regretted and said,” Let’s eat. ”

After dinner, Liam did not sit long before he answered the phone and wanted to go out again.

Grace asked, “Where are you going?”

Liam went to the porch, changed his shoes, and said, “Eating supper with Mike”

Hearing what Liam said, Ashleyraised her eyes and said casually, “Can I go with you?”

Seeing her intention, Liam kindly reminded, “You can order takeout.”

Ashley pretended not to hear it. She jumped up and ran to the room. “Wait a minute, I’ll change my clothes.”

As she expected, Liam didn’t wait for her, and by the time Ashley came out of the room, there was no one on the porch.

Ashley hurriedly ran to the porch, putting on her shoes and saying, “Mom and Dad, I’m going out.”

Grace was stunned and wondered, “Ash, you really want to go.”

“Yes.”

“You can just order a takeout, or your father and I will accompany you to eat,” Grace said strangely. “Don’t you like to go out with your brother before? ”

Ashley didn’t know how to explain it, so she could only pretend to be in a hurry and said anxiously, “I’ll be back soon. Go to bed early. Don’t wait for me.”

With that, Ashley opened the door and went out without waiting for her mother to say anything more.

Liam was still waiting for the elevator.

When he saw her coming out, he sneered, “Why do I think this is so familiar?”

“It’s not the first time I’ve gone out for a supper with you,” she said.

“I just remembered something, and I thought it was a little strange.”

“What?”

“When I was a junior, you said you would help me move my dormitory,” Liam asked meaningfully. “Is it your real intention?”
